A Dyspeptic's Guide To Contemporary American Politics (In Verse)

"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today

Dyspecptic's Guide to Contemporary Politics art

An estimated 48 million Americans lack health insurance. And because they nonetheless need doctoring from time to time, these costs get passed along to the insured in the form of higher premiums—a pass-along that now averages $922 a year.

Man, God, And Trickle
Down Health Costs

My own health costs are much too dear,
I can’t afford a pick up share
That subsdizes working poor,
The very notion makes me sore.

But somehow though I shun this play,
I gotta shell out anyway;
Poor people when thy come up sick,
Go see a doctor—boy, they’re slick!

Now with this pricey health care sleeper
I’ve become my brother’s keeper.
Hey, just because I read my Bible
Don’t mean for the poor I’m liable.
